Objective To evaluate lumbar laminotomy and replantation in prevention of spinal unstability and peridural adhesion after laminectomy.Methods From February 1995 to March 2001,a total of 169 patients(96 males, 73 females,aged 22-63) with lesions in the lumbar vertebral canals underwent surgery, in which the lesions were removed afterlaminectormy and then the excised laminae were replanted. Results The follow-up for 5-9 years showed that all the patients had no complications after the lesions were removed. According to the evaluation criteria formulated by WANG Yongti，81 patients had an excellent result, 67 had a good result, 19 had a fair result, and2 had a poor result. 87.6% of the patients obtained quite satisfactory results.The X-ray films demonstrated that the replanted laminae obtained bony healing and the spine was stable. The CT scanning demonstratedthat the canals were enlarged with a smooth and glossy interior. Conclusion Lumbar laminotomy and replantation is reasonable in design and convenient in performance, which can be promoted as a basic operation in spinal surgery.
【 Abstract 】 Objective To discuss incidence of the complications in the rectal cancer patients ’ early postoperative being treated with neoadjuvant chemotherapy combined with surgical intervention. Methods The rectal cancer patients under surgical therapy being diagnosed definitely, with neoadjuvant chemotherapy under multi-disciplinary team (MDT) or without and firstly being discovered from April to October of 2007 were studied. The complication conditions of these patients 1 month after operation were studied and observed, and the differences between MDT group and non-MDT group were compared. Results According to the condition, 189 rectal cancer patients were internalized. Among all the patients, the distance of tumor to the dentate line were lt;3 cm 38 cases, 3 ～ 7 cm 86 cases, ≥ 7 cm 65 cases; pathological stage were Ⅰ stage 5 cases ， Ⅱstage 122 cases， Ⅲstage 50 cases， Ⅳstage 12 cases. There were 181 cases laparotomy, 8 cases laparoscopic operation; 33 cases stoma operation, 156 cases non-stoma operation. The total incidence of postoperative complication was 27.0% （51/189）. Of all, incision bleeding was 1 case, abdominal (deep) bleeding were 4 cases, anastomosis bleeding were 5 cases, pulmonary infection was 1 case, wound infection were 7 cases, urinary tract infection were 3 cases, abdominal (deep) infection was 1 case, unknown fever were 19 cases, superficial layer wound dehiscence was 1 case, wound co-liquation were 15 cases, anastomosis leakage were 3 cases, rectovaginal fistula were 2 cases; intestinal obstruction were 7 cases, urinary retention were 7 cases, stress ulcer were 2 cases. Follow-up in 2-10 months after operation, there was no death case. The baseline between MDT group and non-MDT group was equal. The ratio of postoperative blood transfusion of MDT group was obviously less than that of non-MDT group （P＜0.05）. Moreover, the operation time of MDT group was obviously shorter than that of non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. But the ratio of laparotomy and laparoscopic operation, of stoma operation and non-stoma operation, as well as the types of radical excision operation of rectal cancer didn’t show any statistical difference between two groups (Pgt;0.05). The postoperative venting time, defecation time, intake time didn’t show any statistical difference between two groups too. But the postoperative out-of-bed activity time and the postoperative in-hospital days of MDT group was obviously shorter than that of non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. In MDT group the postoperative total complication rate was less than non-MDT group, and the difference was statistically significant （P＜0.05）. Among all the complications, the MDT group had a lower rate of wound infection, wound co-liquation and urinary retention （P＜0.05）. Using multifactorial logistic regression analysis, the risk factor which influenced the postoperative complication rate in MDT group were: postoperative intake time and postoperative hospitalization time. But the risk factor in non-MDT group was only according to postoperative hospitalization time. Conclusion The patients who were treated by MDT, definite operative method combining neoadjuvant chemotherapy or not didn’t increase the postoperative complication rate and risk. So it could be believed that such a composite treatment was feasible and safe in early postoperative stage. But it needs further studies to evaluate the medium- and long-term clinical effect.
Ten cases of basicranial repair and reconstruction after resection of malignant tumors in nasal sinuses invading base of skull were reported. Dural repair was performed when the resected basicranial osseous lamella was less than 3 cm in diameter; when the lamella ranged from 4 to 7 cm, bone graft was not required either, the defect was repaired with either fascia lata and pericranium of pedunculated galea aponeurotica or frontal myocutaneous. No leakage of cerebrospinal fluid, cerebral hernia and intracranial infection happened postoperatively.
Objective To investigate the indication, operative approach, postoperative management, and complication of acetabular fracture. Methods Sixty-eight patients (51 males,17 females; age 15-65 years) with acetabular fracture were reviewed retrospectively. Among the patients, 55 were injured in the traffic accidents and 13 were injured in the falls (acute injury in 60, old injury in 8). According to the Letournel classification, 16 had a fracture of the posterior wall, 13 had a fracture of the posterior wall and posterior column, 12 had a fracture of the anterior wall and anterior column, 8 had a fracture of the anterior and posterior column, and 19 had a transverse acetabular fracture. All the patients underwent an operative treatment. Results There was no injury to the nerves and blood vessels during the operation. According to the 1-12-year follow-up for 51 patients, 26 (51.0%) patients had an excellent function, 17（33.3%）had a good function，6（11.8%）had a fair function, and 2（3.9%）had a poor function. The excellent and good rate was 84.3%. After operation, heterotopic ossification was observed in 4 patients, and necrosis of the femoral head in 2 patients. Conclusion Operative management should be performed as soon as possible in the patients with a displaced acetabular fracture. Recovery of the stability of the acetabulum and smoothness of the acetabular articular cartilage is important to the recovery of the function.
ObjectiveTo further explore and discuss the value of laparoscopic appendectomy. MethodsThe clinical data of 200 patients underwent appendectomy in this hospital from April 2009 to December 2010 were collected. The operation time, postoperative hospital stay, cost of hospitalization, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative pain score, and surgical complications were compared between laparoscopic appendectomy and open appendectomy. ResultsThere were 8 cases conversion to the open approach in this series. The cost of laparoscopic appendectomy was higher than that of open appendectomy (Plt;0.05); the cases of chronic appendicitis, acute simple appendicitis, acute suppurative appendicitis within 36 h of onset treated by laparoscopic appendectomy had shorter operation time, shorter postoperative hospital stay, earlier postoperative anal exhaust time, and slighter postoperative pain than those treated by open appendectomy (Plt;0.05); the differences in postoperative hospital stay, postoperative anal exhaust time, postoperative pain of acute suppurative appendicitis more than 36 h of onset and acute gangrenous appendicitis treated by two types of surgery had no statistical significances (Pgt;0.05); the operation time of acute gangrenous appendicitis operated by laparoscopic surgery was longer than that by open appendectomy (Plt;0.05); incision infection rate of laparoscopic appendectomy was lower than that of open appendectomy (Plt;0.05). ConclusionsFor chronic appendicitis, acute simple appendicitis, and acute suppurative appendicitis within 36 h of onset, the outcome and advantages of laparoscopic appendectomy are outstanding, the value of application is clear; and for acute suppurative appendicitis more than 36 h of onset and acute gangrenous appendicitis, laparoscopic appendectomy is difficult and with high rate of conversion, no obvious advantages in recovery after surgery but an increase of medical costs, and the application value is not great.
OBJECTIVE To investigate the therapeutic effect of percutaneous lumbar discectomy (PLD) combined with sodium hyaluronate (SH) injection in the treatment of lumbar intervertebral disc herniation. METHODS Forty-eight patients suffered from lumbar disc herniation were divided into two groups and treated by PLD combined with SH injection into epidural cavity (treatment group) or single PLD (control group) respectively. All patients were followed up for 24 months. The therapeutic effects in both groups were assessed and compared according to Macnab’s criterion. RESULTS The patients in the treatment group got much more significant improvement than those in the control group, with shorter therapeutic course and more safety. CONCLUSION PLD combined with SH injection into epidural cavity is more effective and safety in the treatment of lumbar disc herniation than of pure PLD.
Objective To explore surgical technique and clinical outcome of transabdominal preperitoneal hernia repair (TAPP) and totally extraperitoneal hernia repair (TEP) in inguinal hernia repair. Methods 〗The clinical data of 23 patients underwent laparoscopic herniorrhaphy were retrospectively analyzed. Nine patients were underwent TAPP, and 14 patients underwent TEP. Results 〗None of patients was changed to open operation. Only one patient of TEP was changed to TAPP. Average operative time was (82.1±40.6) min. Blood loss was (5.7±3.0) ml. Disruption of peritoneum happened to 2 patients underwent TEP. The rate of postoperative complications was 21.7% (5/23), which included serum swelling (1 case), scrotal emphysema (2 cases), transient neurapraxia in the area of repair (1 case) and urinary retention (1 case). No chronic pain, foreign body sensation and infection were found. Average hospitalization after operation was (4.3±0.9) d. No recurrence was observed during a follow-up period of 1-15 months. Conclusion 〗Laparoscope herniorrhaphy is safe due to lower recurrence and complications. It also has the advantages of slight pain and rapid recovery.
ObjectiveTo investigate the relationship between rules of local metastasis and the operation for rectal cancer. MethodsLiteratures about rules of local metastasis and operation for rectal cancer were reviewed and analysed. ResultsThe study of rules of local metastasis results in the change and refinement of the operation for rectal cancer. Conclusion With the development of basic research for rectal cancer,the operation for rectal cancer is changing and refining, and the result of the treatment is more favourable.
From Jan. 1, 1990 to Dec. 30, 1994, 38 patients with mammary duct ectasia admited to our hospital, for whom the diagnoses were confirmed by pathological examination of surgical specimens. Intensive literature review was made together with 569 cases of this group were summarized in terms of clinical features of the disease. Tumor-like mass is a most common sign (78.21%), and the other clinical features are: nipple discharge (28.47%), nipple retraction (21.79%), axillary node enlargement (15.82%), skin adhesion (11.25%) and breast fistula (3.87%). Surgical excision of the mass is the unique effective treatment of chioce. 24 out of 38 cases were misdiagnosed other than mammary duct ectasia. Careful clinical observation and examination may reduce the chance of misdiagnosis.
Objective To investigate diagnosis and treatment of farlateral lumbar disc herniations. Methods The clinical data from 16 patients with far-lateral lumbar disc herniations from January 1999 to January 2004 were retrospectively analyzed. The CT scanning showed that the shadow density of the CT scanning values in the corresponding intra-foramen, extraforamen and all-foramen was as the same as that of the intervertebral disc. Of the 16 patients, 10 were operated on by the interlaminar approach, 3 were operatedon by the laterolaminar approach, 3 were operated on by the combined interlaminal and laterolaminal approach.Results According to the follow-up for 6 monthsto 5 years, excellent results were obtained in 8 patients, good results in 5, and fair results in 3. The postoperative CT examination showed that the space occupying in the foramen or extraforamen of the corresponding segment vanished and the nerve root compression of the identical segment also vanished. Conclusion The lamellar highresolution CT is a better way to diagnose lumbar disc herniation. The operative approach should be chosen according to the position of the intervertebral disc protrusion, pathologic type, and presence or absence of the lesions in the vertebral canal.
